This mouse was discovered in a loaf of Hovis Best of Both bread purchased online from Tesco by Stephen Forse of Kidlington in Oxfordshire in January 2009. Question is, does the 'guideline daily amounts' label visible below the unfortunate rodent tell you how many mice you should be eating?

Looking like a grisly fossil, this mouse was discovered in a Hyndman's malt loaf bought from a supermarket in the Ballymoney area in 2007. The manufacturer was fined £1,000 plus costs for placing unsafe food on the market

The current flavour of the month, a dead frog found in a bag of Tesco spinach and incorporated into a salad by Sarah Moss, 26, from Shoreditch. There's more on this particular delight over on Word of Mouth

Finding a deceased animal in your food is one thing, but in June 2012 Heather Manzie bought this Creme Egg. She noticed an ant coming out of the seam of the egg's foil wrapping, split it open, and was horrified to find a colony of ants inside. It's a novel answer to the question 'How do you eat yours?'

A small grey mouse found inside loaf of sliced bread in Israel. The well-known bakery which made the bread claims the mouse did not enter the loaf in the bakery but after the loaf left its premises. It certainly doesn't looked cooked, but whether that's better or worse than the alternative is a bit of a moot point

In 2004 British Bakeries in Avonmouth, Bristol were fined £7,000 after a sliced loaf purchased by a member of public was found to contain a couple of dead baby mice, rodent droppings and rodent hair. Leaving court, the woman who made the gruesome discovery said it had put her off bread for some time. An argument for baking your own, perhaps?
